Default Houston - Emissions Problems

Hey gang,

I need a nice place to go that will overlook some emissions problems I'm gonna have. I'm going for some upgrades (new turbos, exhaust manifold, etc) later this summer so I don't want to have to worry about high flow cats right now, if you know someone that can help me out PM me would you.

I just need emissions the rest of the car will pass easily.

You can't do that. You have to go to the same county that it is registered in.

I thought the new stickers have the county printed on them. Maybe it's just the new registration stickers.

No but I've lived here all my life, you pull up put your ins. card on the dash and give the man $12.50 and presto, it's that simple, no questions asked. If you come to Bmt. PM me first I will direct you to the closest one, hell I'll meet you there to check out your car.
